Comment (by perkins1724@…):
I think comment:3 sums up the inherent conflict in this context of livetv
versus only pre-recorded well.
re the suggestions:
1. adding Watch TV to the EditRecording() pop-up has made me nervous from
the start. Partly because changing schedulecommon.cpp to implement is well
beyond my capability but also because I worry that it may introduce
unintended behaviour in unintended places - for example maybe because of
the program finder progfind.cpp functionality. I don't understand the code
well enough to know the full implications of this so will leave to others
more suitably experienced. That aside - it would seem to be a solid
compromise between the two viewpoints.
2. -
3. I will modify my original patch snippet (so it remains as an option) to
essentially make setting '0' to be the equivalent to disabled. Note that
this setting currently defaults to '16' but may not have affected pure
pre-recorded users previously. This patch may require those users to
manually enter setup (mythfrontend -> setup -> video -> program guide) and
change the setting to '0' to retain the pre-patch EPG behaviour, which may
cause initial frustration from users who do not desire the altered
behaviour. An alternative may be to create a new setting from scratch but
seems to be overkill when the dual use of the setting appears consistent /
complementary.
